BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Exercise What Is Your Workout Today

I started a new what's your workout post for May so please share your workouts or exercises for May here. If you're not working out post here: What's Your Excuse for Not Working Out Today.

Today's workout kicked a** (sorry it was awesome). I started with a 15 min. mobility circuit to warmup then I completed the following circuits:

Circuit 1:
horse stance
stability ball W drill + cobra back extensions
stability ball dumbbell pullover + fly
2 sets of 10 reps each exercise no rest between exercises or circuits

Circuit 2:
TRX power pull
TRX single leg suspended plank knee-in to hip extension
TRX lawnmower prep
3 sets of 8 no rest between exercises 1 min. rest between circuits (this circuit is hardcore)

Circuit 3:
valslide reverse lunge w/sandbell piledriver
jumping jacks
valslide mountain climbers
inverted pushups
alternating sandbell swings
3 sets of 8-12 no rest between exercises 30 sec. rest between circuits (this is intense but fun)

Finished up with 10 min. of stretching and a nice soak in the hot tub. Will be stretching hip flexors again before bed.

Walking and jump rope intervals plus stretching tomorrow.

Replaced my usual strength training day with 5 min of mobility exercises + 40 min of yoga because my body felt just a little tight (I think from my 30 min run yesterday).

Hope you're enjoying your b-day weekend Monica =)

30 min. run? Wow! You are back into it big time! Aweseome and good that you're doing long recovery sessions the day after.

My glutes are sore from those sandbell piledriver reverse lunges but other than that feeling great. I figured my abs would be killing today but I think I've been working up to more ab volume slowly so they're fine.

BTW, My MIL bought me a chicken for my b-day Well it wasn't for me it was for a family in Laos (through Oxfam Unwrapped). This is the coolest b-day present ever!

I totally forgot to include that last portion of my workout on Saturday, the hybrid trx pilates side plank leg series. It was so hard that I only did two sets of 5 and could only do 1/3 of the exercise! Going to practice these more today.

Went for a 20 min. walk did 10 min. mobility and about 20 min. stretching yesterday. Skipped my jump rope skipping so gotta do that today!!!

Yes, it took a while but I'm finally running again. Can you believe I used to run both Saturdays & Sundays (this was before my runner's knee injury)? I feel like I'm doing better listening to what my body needs.

I did an upper body strength circuit + core workout this morning. Can't go walking today at lunch because we're really short staffed at work (boo).

I try to alternate 20-30 min walks (mon/wed/fri) & the stairs workout (tues/thu). I figure if I focus on a 10-15 min lower body strength workout tomorrow morning I can do the stairs workout during lunch.

I'll google the line drills...thanks for the tip.

Yesterday's workout was 10 min. mobility exercises and 3 functional circuits for upper and lower body. This was during an intermittent fast. After dinner we went for a moderate paced 20 min. walk and then I stretched for 20 min. So I had two great workouts in one day

Only issue is I skipped the jump rope again! So I'm going to switch gears and try 8 minutes of tabata intervals today before a chakra yoga practice.

Did my 15 min lower body strength workout this morning then did the stairs workout during lunch...I was even able to recruit a co-worker to join me today =)

Did 20 min of interval cardio on the elliptical today

Awesome. Elliptical can be amazing for fat burning intervals.

Today's workout was 6 laps at the pool, plus pool tag with my son 5 min. of mobility and 20 min. circuit workout of the following exercises:

burpee w/ pushup
trx inverted row
sandbell sumo squat to alternating overhead press reverse lunge with slam
feet on sandbell toe touch to table top
swinging plank
jumping jacks

4 circuits no rest between exercises, about 50 sec. rest between circuits

Worked out with my mouth shut the entire time and cut 5 min. off my workout time.

Was also able to swim the entire length of the pool in one breathe. I think this Buteyko thing is working!
